Time For a Reality Check!

Thu Aug 11, 2016 9:48 pm

In a recent poll on this forum nearly 55% thought that we would make the play offs and nearly half of that thought that we would get automatic promotion.

It's quite clear that we are lacking in many areas no more than proven goal scorers and we are desperately lacking pace. The club are doing a good job reducing the debt however we are going backwards as a team. We will end up with a team of freebies! Why bring in another midfielder ( Huws) when we are not particularly short in that area and he cannot get in the Wigan team!

We need at least one decent striker but fans have to be realistic of where we will finish this season. Great to be optimistic but some really need to look at the lack of quality in the squad compared to many other teams in the Division.

We won reach the play offs.
We won't pay out the money
We still lack a couple of quality midfielders with pace alongside 2 good strikers.
Tan is running the club like a business.

In fairness football is a business these days,big business,the trouble is Tan doesn't know anything about football and his representatives at the club are clueless as well

Yes agree, we have no footballing knowledge within our club unfortunately.
Bournemouth done it on a very low budget.
Just think we need a better worldwide scouting system.

Bournemouth have a billionaire russian backer, they spent quite a few quid on the quiet if you look back.

Some of the recent signings don't appear to be Trollopes
there lies the problem!
